The Bears definitely face a tough task in winning for the second straight season at the Dunkin Donuts Center. When their offense has been on, the Friars have been a potent offensive team. The defense has been another story, giving up points at a fairly alarming clip lately. Providence is coming off back-to-back losses, and the odds of Tim Welsh’s team’s looking past Brown are pretty much zero after last year’s upset. The good news for Brown is that PC opponents are shooting a healthy 37.7 percent from three on the season and are getting to the line fairly often. The bad news is that the Friars force a lot of turnovers, which has been a sore spot at times for the Bears.
